The 3D catalog: game boxes on wooden shelves, with the cat sitting at the counter next to its greeting.

The catalog in 3D

The same catalog has a room you can walk around in. The cat behind the counter is the AI Catbot, and they pick real games from it when you tell them what you feel like playing. Nothing is for sale, here or in there. Go in from here and this game is already out on the counter, with more like it waiting on the shelf next to it.

How it feels

A fast-paced twin-stick shooter with a grappling mechanic that blends precision platforming and combat, set in a darkly atmospheric Gothic Louisiana swamp.

What players say

Players praise its unique dual-weapon shooting and challenging puzzles, and note the developers took care to make it colorblind accessible. The difficulty is demanding but not punishing, and some compare it to old-school games that require quick reflexes.
